Hamas Terrorists Getting ‘Lifetime Pensions’ Funded with U.S. Dollars

In addition to the untold wealth the Biden regime bestows on Palestinians terrorist groups,  the Biden regime gave billions to Iran who funds Hamas and Hezb’allah.

Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel: “The Palestinian Authority (PA) uses ‘humanitarian aid’ to give lifetime pensions to the families of terrorists who successfully kill Israeli Jews. In September 2023 alone, the PA paid out 25 million dollars in “Pay to Slay” terror pensions — lifetime monthly payments to Palestinians or their families who have killed Jews. As of the end of October, those monthly payments have risen to 27 million, thanks to the rash of terrorists who managed to kill 1,400 Jews on October 7. That number will grow. Now Joe Biden wants to give the PA 100 million dollars MORE, effectively funding “pay to slay” pensions for each of the October 7 terrorists who succeeded in killing more Jews in a single day than any other since the Holocaust.”

PA will pay released terrorists 19,500 shekels a month for life

By: Itamar Marcus  | 

Nine of the first 78 terrorists that Israel released in the exchange deal with Hamas for Israeli hostages have served more than 5 years in Israeli prison. PA law grants every terrorist prisoner a monthly salary from the day of arrest until the day of release, with the salary rising the longer they’re in prison. For terrorists who are imprisoned for more than five years, the PA continues to pay their final monthly prison salary for life.

The PA will be paying 4 of the released terrorists 2,000 shekels each month for life, while the 5 who are Jerusalem residents will receive a bonus of 300 shekels a month and thus a total of 2,300 shekels a month. These 9 released terrorists will be receiving a total of 19,500 shekels each month for life from the PA.

The Palestinian Authority has been paying over 300 million dollars a year in monthly salaries to terrorist prisoners and in monthly allowances to families of dead terrorists. Since October 7th, Israel has arrested thousands of terrorists, 2,000 in Judea and Samaria alone, and thousands more in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip, in addition to the thousands of terrorists who have been killed. All of these imprisoned terrorists and the families of the dead terrorists will be receiving monthly rewards, in the PA program known as Pay-for-Slay, as soon as the Palestinian Authority can finish the bureaucracy.

Palestinian Media Watch has been alerting the donor countries since 2011 that they are either directly funding or facilitating terror rewards, which is both immoral and illegal under their own laws. Now that the PA will have even greater monthly expenses to reward all these thousands of terrorists and their families, the US, EU, Norway, and other donor countries should be expecting the PA to beg for even more money, now that thousands more terrorists are added to their monthly payroll.

Will the donor countries increase their funding to facilitate the extra terror awards?
PMW will be following.
